1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Upon exposure to invading microorganisms, neutrophils undergo NETosis, a recently identified type of programmed cell death, and release neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). NETs are described as an antimicrobial mechanism, based on the fact that NETs can trap microorganisms and exhibit bactericidal activity through the action of NET‑associated components. In contrast, the components of NETs have been recognized as damage‑associated molecular pattern molecules (DAMPs), which trigger inflammatory signals to induce cell death, inflammation and organ failure. In the present study, to clarify the effect of NETs on cytokine production by macrophages, mouse macrophage‑like J774 cells were treated with NETs in combination with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) as a constituent of pathogen‑associated molecular patterns. The results revealed that NETs significantly induced the production of interleukin (IL)‑1β by J774 cells in the presence of LPS. Notably, the NET/LPS‑induced IL‑1β production was inhibited by both caspase‑1 and caspase‑8 inhibitors. Furthermore, nucleases and serine protease inhibitors but not anti‑histone antibodies significantly inhibited the NET/LPS‑induced IL‑1β production. Moreover, we confirmed that caspase‑1 and caspase‑8 were activated by NETs/LPS, and the combination of LPS, DNA and neutrophil elastase induced IL‑1β production in reconstitution experiments. These observations indicate that NETs induce the production of IL‑1β by J774 macrophages in combination with LPS via the caspase‑1 and caspase‑8 pathways, and NET‑associated DNA and serine proteases are involved in NET/LPS‑induced IL‑1β production as essential components.
